Randomised controlled trial of a light intervention to enhance alertness and performance in night shiftworkers

轮班工人在夜班时通常会感到高度疲劳，警觉性和工作表现水平都会下降，这使他们面临着发生事故和受伤的高风险。尽管澳大利亚有大量的倒班工人，但缺乏有效的疲劳管理工具。光可以提高警觉性，并可能提供一种不显眼的手段来提高轮班工人的安全。我们将研究一种新的光照方法来提高夜班工人的警觉性。

Shiftworkers commonly experience high levels of fatigue during night shift, with decreased alertness and performance levels, placing them at high risk for accidents and injuries. Despite the large number of shiftworkers in Australia, effective fatigue management tools are lacking. Light increases alertness, and may provide an unobtrusive means to increase safety in shiftworkers. We will study the effectiveness of a novel method of light exposure to improve alertness in night shiftworkers.
